English as an official language in Vietnam: would it work?
Opinion is not divided on the desirability of learning English, but making it an official language is easier said than done.
At the Youth Entrepreneurship Forum 2018 last month, Minister of Information and Communication Nguyen Manh Hung suggested that the Prime Minister should soon recognize English as the second official language of Vietnam to help startups reach out to the world.
The proposal stirred a heated discussion on social media and prompted numerous professionals to pitch in with their views and opinions.
